I have been sewing for decades and I already own two sergers so I didn't really "need" a new one - but my machine was in the shop for the second time in four months and the "tune-up/repair" bills for both visits was $180.00.

My husband asked me, "How much is a new machine?" I said, "Well a new Juki is only about $350, but my machine is much better than a Juki..." He said, "Maybe that's the problem. Maybe you have a Ferrari and you need a pick-up truck.. A Ferrari might be "better" than a pick-up truck, but when you need to move a load, you really need a pick-up truck."

I realized that my current sewing projects - mostly the Katwise sweater coats - were more of the heavy-duty variety and perhaps my current brand of serger was just too finicky for the job.

I am very happy that I made this purchase. The Juki sews beautifully even through several layers of felted wool. I can just breeze through the seams without any jamming or skipped stitches. I am very very happy with this machine.

This was my first time using a serger. I'm a self-taught seamstress and have been sewing for around 4 years. After completely learning the ins and outs of my brother sewing machine and also teaching myself to make sewing patterns, I was ready to take my apparel sewing to the next level.

Being a young mother and a college student, I had to make every penny count due to a very limited budget but I also had to maximize the return on my investment in this product. I spent around 5 FULL days doing research (luckily I'm on summer break to able to do this) on which serger to buy and finally came to the conclusion that this was it, for sure!! Here's the biggest reason why:

This serger is made with parts that are built to last. Even after a week of using this, I can tell that with great care and a comprehensive knowledge of how this machine operates, it will last me a very long time. I like to use an analogy of purchasing a car: would you rather have the car that's a flashy color with a sunroof and dazzling features that make it seem like more fun to drive, but has faulty parts that break apart and cost you more money in the long run?? Or would you rather get a car that has an excellent engine, won't break down anytime soon and if it does, has parts that are easily accessible and replaceable, and can be pimped out later on down the road??

I chose the one that may not have all the bells and whistles of other segers out there, but I am positive it will last me for a very long time even with very heavy use.

Here are a few extra pros:

-pretty quiet and smooth running

-the owner's manual has detailed pictures and methodologies

-a good variation on which techniques you can perform

-well-made, again ;)

-nice and long cord

-color-coded threading labels

-adequate supply of provided accessories, some I'm not quite sure what their use is yet but look cool

-suction cups on the bottom so serger stays in place in case your 5 year old decides to see how heavy it is

-compact and sturdy

-trusted company, Juki

-handle for carrying and transporting

-differential feed!! Loving this

-also a good purchase if serging somewhat terrifies you like it did me. Even though you will mess up, you'll still be learning and growing and improving on what you know and can do. Just practice. Practice threading over and over, practice sewing on different types of fabric, practice the roll hemming and gathering techniques listed in the owner's manual; just get to know your machine while you practice on it.

And one con that isn't really that bad, just something I will look for in my upgrade in the distant future:

-chain stitch and that cool hem stitch capability you see on all manufactured clothing

So, make an investment in yourself and your sewing, whether novice or professional!!

I LOVE this machine! I bought it to replace my 30 year old Toyota overlock, and I couldn't be happier. The machine is quiet, easy to thread (for a 4-cone overlock, that is) and sews like a dream. I also have a brand new Singer overlock, which pales in comparison. I always recommend this machine to my Garment Constructions students.

After my brother 1034d broke after only 3 months of use the sewing machine repair guy recommended this serger to me said it was the best! I did my research and discovered that it is top rated and very affordable! I absolutely love it. Very easy to thread and it makes gorgeous rolled hems (something that my brother never did). I definitely recommend this serger. And as a bonus it is very quiet. Love it!!!!

Most bang for yer buck. Loving this machine. Kinda sad I wasted 2 years with the Brother 1034d. Kinda happy the motor died on the Brother and I was able to replace it with the Juki! Better stitches and much quieter. Doesn't rattle and shake around like the Brother. Nicer rolled hem. Yay!! I know a lot of people compare these two machines, I did a lot of research before I bought a serger. Definitely casting my vote for the Juki now.

This is my first serger and I am very new to sergering. I wanted to sew upcycle clothing. I sought out the advice of a sewing class but after hearing the fee of "$100 for 3 hours", I decided to tackle this on my own. After a couple of hours (I just needed to make sure to thread properly:), I made my first piece of upcycle clothing! Then I started making more! I love it! With this purchase, I am on my way to reinventing my entire wardrobe without buying new clothes! I chose this model because it was recommended by Katwise on Etsy and I have to say thank you Katwise and thank you Amazon!

I can't believe how quiet, how smooth this machine works. I am used to a swiss made serger and replaced it with this model of JUKI. I am in love with it. Why did I wait so long?? Directions were easy to follow...threading was a snap and the tension is perfect first time around. I like how the little feet have suction to them and keep the machine in place. This is a top shelf machine....you will be very pleased if you make this purchase, I know I sure am.
